Wordless Wednesday: Baby with toys

Wordless Wednesday is a daily prompt at
Geneabloggers that asks family historians to create a post in which the main
focus is a photograph or image.

Another
sweet baby with no name. I hope someone
will find my blog and solve the mystery of this cutie patootie with doll and
toy dog. Would you date this photo from the late 1930s or early 40s, perhaps?

In my family everybody becomes the custodian of a box of photos, and this picture was in a box that my mother had. She probably got it from her aunt (my great aunt) Violetta Davis Ryan. Now here's where it gets confusing. Was this possibly a photo from her husband's side of the family? Or maybe this photo was in a box of photos that she got from her sister Velma, in which case the picture could be from one of her husband's relatives. The picture could have been among the belongings of her mother, my great-grandmother, Mary Frances Jollett Davis. Too many variables!
